After a record 330,000+ votes were cast, the salsa dancing superstar from New
Jersey beat out five other players, including New England Patriots tight end Rob
Gronkowski, to be named the 2011 VIZIO Top Value Performer. He is the second
Giant (WR, Steve Smith) to win this award.</p>
<blockquote>

“It’s been an amazing year, and I’m thankful for all the fans who voted me as
the Top Value Performer,” said Cruz. “The other players up for the award were
equally deserving, as they all had great seasons, but I’m proud to represent New York (http://www.giants101.com/tag/new-york/)
and the G-Men.”</p></blockquote>

Cruz set the Giants single-season receiving record, amassing 1,536 yards. He
also combined for the longest scoring play in Giants history (99-yards) and was
named an AP Second Team All-Pro. He was also a second alternate (moved up to
first alternate) for the NFL (http://www.giants101.com/tag/nfl/) Pro Bowl.</p>

But what won him this award was accomplishing all of that while earning a
mere $405,000 base salary.</p>

Cruz and the Giants have one more shot to add some trophies to their
collection next Sunday, February 5th, as they take on the New England Patriots
in Super Bowl XLVI."</p>

dang, second team all pro...guess he'll have something to work harder for to make first team. dunno who beat him out but i could have easily seen him being first team all pro.

think about when we win the SB, Cruz and JPP may have the greatest years of 2nd year players ever. no doubt we arent playing for the lombardi w/o cruz.

No kidding, we got our money's worth and then some with that kid. Now we need lock him up by giving him what he's worth, he certainly earned it so far.

What a great story he has to share. It's great to see someone make it big and still be grounded to terra firma.
